Description
Simons Observatory UK is a state-of-the-art cosmic microwave background observatory with hardware currently under development at various institutions in the UK, and telescope infrastructure being assembled in the Atacama Desert in Chile. In this talk I will outline the SO:UK receivers and show how some of the microwave, superconducting and cryogenic technologies developed for CMB observatories can be applied beyond radio astronomy. Some of the areas that I will discuss include: dark matter detection, quantum computing and quantum sensing, and medical imaging.
